I had the oddest dream last night. It involved logging into some sort of high security system. Of course, this system used two-factor authentication, but the second factor was, a dog. You entered your username and password, then you had to call this dog to you and pet him. If dog approved of you, login successful. If dog didn't come, or ignored you altogether, you were not authorized. Hmm. Maybe I should work on inventing this ...

You can't keep telling people the future is a fascist takeover and ecological collapse, and conservatives and corporations are the ones directly responsible and are blocking efforts to fix it, and not expect people to ask why we're being so goddamn nice to them in that case.
